Day 24 - Have Fun (Part 2)

So did you allow yourself to have fun?Did you celebrate God’s love for you and share
it with others?In the process of
conversion, we must reach a point where we recognize, almost by necessity, the
immensity of God’s love and our call to not only respond to it but to share
that love.That is why Jesus stresses
the two great commandments in today’s gospel, for if we love God and share that
love with our neighbor then we will be the recipients of great joy. On this day, Psalm 81 exhorts us to hear the
voice of God.If we truly hear his voice
and embrace the love of God and neighbor above all things, life becomes a
celebration.Life becomes fun!That is why I love my priesthood and love
every aspect of my ministry because as my pastor says, “where else could I have
more fun?”
